About

The Cow is a historic Irish-style gastropub in Notting Hill renowned for its exceptional Guinness and fresh oysters. This compact venue combines the atmosphere of a traditional Dublin pub with serious gastropub cooking, offering everything from prime seafood platters to hearty British classics like bangers and mash. The upstairs dining room provides a more intimate setting for those seeking a sit-down meal, whilst the ground-floor saloon bar maintains the authentic pub atmosphere.

The kitchen focuses on quality ingredients with Northern European influences, specialising in seafood and meat dishes. Signature offerings include the theatrical Deluxe Seafood Platter, classic Fish Stew, and daily specials like Pint of Prawns and Crab Tagliolini. The carefully curated menu moves seamlessly from lunch through to dinner, with options ranging from light bites to substantial mains.

Dogs are welcome throughout The Cow, making it an excellent choice for owners looking to enjoy quality dining with their four-legged companions. The relaxed, friendly atmosphere and neighbourhood character have made it a long-standing favourite in the Westbourne Park area.
